Luis Severino Returns

…And the Sox are the first to fall, losing by a run to the Astros in the rain this afternoon.

Hot fuggin’ damn.

Little Luis has had some time to think it over now, huh? He gets the nod against Trevor Bauer, who, I am sorry, can’t be great 2 times in a row, can he, hah? Expect Severino to pitch well—for awhile anyway. And also expect the offense to score couple few runs.

Anyone know why Rizzo was screaming "respect me" after his run scoring go ahead bloop hit? He yelled it twice after getting caught in a rundown. There's gotta be some backstory there I don't know about.

mlbn gave him props last night. well deserved too! passed balls are important and it's an issue with him, but he calls a fine game, is an above average pitch framer, and has a fucking *canon* for an arm that's quite accurate. and for regular pitches, he seems to be a fine receiver. and his bat is unbelievable. he deserves a lot more credit and love. oh, and trust from his idiot fucking manager about when to review a phantom HBP!

[147] i would never marry someone who didn't let me have long hair! i've always had it though. over 30 years now. it really is a part of me and who i am. plus, she loves it and so does my daughter. mom too! it's not growing like it used to though. really sucks. they won't even let me crop my beard more than i already do.

So my Fox Sports 1 in Birmingham hasn't worked tonight on Spectrum. This is the second time it wouldn't work this series. I went round with Spectrum and I'm literally switching to Direct TV tonight. I'm glad the Yankees are winning.

[219] and the local Fox ownership has pulled the Fox main channel from Directv in a fee dispute. Hope they resolve it before the WS. Meanwhile Fox News, Fox Buisness And Fox Sports all still work. I guess there’s a difference between broadcast and straight cable

great to see kahnle look like his old self. we're gonna need him with betances unable to throw strikes. game 5 is gonna be tough but we have green, robertson and chapman ready to go. and gray and warren. meanwhile cleveland used a bunch of relievers, including for some reason their closer.

Yeah, I watched that presser and my thoughts about him changed completely. What I wanted on Friday was for him to admit that he screwed up, but I wanted that mainly because I was still angry about the loss. I can't imagine what it must be like to be in that position as a manager. If admits the mistake, doesn't that call all past and future decisions into question? And in that moment on Friday night, I'm sure he was still pretty angry, too. Sometimes as fans we forget that as much as these games mean to us, they mean more to the people who, you know, are actually involved.

Girardi has never been afraid to show his emotions -- think about when Mariano and Jeter retired, or even when Jeter got his 3,000th hit. He truly cares. And watching him last night sealed it for me. While I didn't call for his job, I was certainly one of the ones who was angry with him. Really, though, I wanted him to care. Now I realize that he always did. People make mistakes. Not only did he own up to his mistake, he made me feel sorry for him. A couple days ago I was hoping the Yankees would win this series in spite of him; today I hope they win for him.
